Portland Book Festival: Margaret Atwood in Conversation With Karen Russell
November 17, 2020 @ 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm
$27.99In Dearly, Margaret Atwood’s first collection of poetry in over a decade, Atwood addresses themes such as love, loss, the passage of time, the nature of nature, and zombies. While many are familiar with the author’s fiction — including her groundbreaking and bestselling novels The Handmaid’s Tale, The Testaments, Oryx and Crake, among others — she has, from the beginning of her career, been one of our most significant contemporary poets. Her new poetry collection is introspective and personal in tone, but wide-ranging in topic. In poem after poem, she casts her unique imagination and unyielding, observant eye over the landscape of a life carefully and intuitively lived. This collection is a stunning achievement that will be appreciated by fans of her novels and poetry readers alike.
